Computational Study of Smoldering Combustion in Cellulose and Hemicellulose Mixtures

Creator:: Mulky, Tejas Chandrashekhar
Abstract:: Due to global warming wildland fires are increasing in frequency and severity. In the case of wildland fires, the major modes of combustion occur include smoldering combustion and flaming combustion. Smoldering combustion occurs most commonly in porous fuels like peat, forest duff, and woody fuels, which are available in abundance...

Evaluation of the Efficiency of Supplementary Cementitious Materials to Prevent Alkali-Silica Reaction in Concrete with Highly and Very Highly Reactive Aggregates

Creator:: Chopperla, Krishna Siva Teja
Abstract:: The most common test methods to evaluate alkali-silica reaction (ASR), the concrete prism test (CPT) and the accelerated mortar bar tests (AMBT), have limitations and are not entirely reliable in terms of predicting the performance of concrete with prevention measures under field conditions. In this study, the miniature concrete prism...

Experimental Study of the Impact of Physical and Chemical Properties on Smoldering Combustion in Natural Fuels

Creator:: Smucker, Benjamin
Abstract:: Smoldering combustion in wildland fires is difficult to extinguish, can transition to flaming combustion, and produces a significant amount of pollutants. It is necessary to understand parameters controlling smoldering in order to help predict the smoldering behavior and potentially mitigate these hazards. The wide variety of natural fuels that occur...

Identified Influences on Second Generation Latina/os on Their Pathway Through Community College

Creator:: Jaime-Diaz, Jesus
Abstract:: The purpose of this study is to determine factors that encourage second generation Latina/os to obtain a community college education. A critical qualitative ethnography focused on "Testimonio" was used in conducting this study. The key findings were formulated around three critical research questions. In relation to each research question, three...

Simulator-Defined MDP Planning with Applications in Natural Resource Management

Creator:: Alkaee Taleghan, Majid
Abstract:: This work is inspired by problems in natural resource management centered on the challenge of invasive species. Computing optimal management policies for maintaining ecosystem sustainable is challenging. Many ecosystem management problems can be formulated as MDP (Markov Decision Process) planning problems. In a simulator-defined MDP, the Markovian dynamics and rewards...

Single nucleotide polymorphism diversity in domesticated and wild sunflowers

Creator:: Freeman, Carrie
Abstract:: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most common DNA polymorphisms in plant and animal genomes. SNPs were identified in the allele sequences of up to 12 sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) genotypes for a genome-wide sample of 81 loci originally mapped using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) markers. The RFLP loci...

Chingasos y Putasos : Examining Cultural and Structural Violence among Mexican American Youth

Creator:: Lerma, Zandro E.
Abstract:: In this thesis, I examine Johan Galtung’s theory of violence and discuss how his concepts of cultural and structural violence helps explain the problem of direct violence among Mexican American youth. I argue that cultural violence, mainly dominant narratives of colonialism and masculinity, cause some Mexican American youth to act...

The Influence of Fuel Characteristics on Smoldering Behavior through Porous Fuels

Creator:: Ross, Andrew H.
Abstract:: Smoldering can play a dangerous role in the ignition and spread of wildfires. Naturally occurring fuels consist of multiple layers of organic materials with varying particle sizes due to differences in decomposition stages with fuel depth, yet the influence of particle size on burning behavior is poorly understood. Previous research...

Los Pioneros de Oregon: An Examination of the Loss and Revitalization of Tejano Cultural Identity

Creator:: Leach, Jessie
Abstract:: Each year, numerous people attend cultural events in the United States, be they large celebrations such as New Orleans’ Mardi Gras or one of many numerous Cinco de Mayo festivals throughout the country or smaller, more specialized events. Many times, the cultural aspects take a backseat to profits, which leads...

Multi-Reward Learning and Sparse Rewards

Creator:: Christopher, Reid M.
Abstract:: Reinforcement learning has made impressive strides in solving problems in challenging domains, but problems are increasingly being described with sparse rewards. Sparse rewards directly reduce the rate at which useful feedback is provided to the learner and make it difficult to distinguish between what specific actions led to the reception...
